Never an easy thing, this saying goodbye crap… but it’s all part of life. Even when it isn’t your pet, it’s still hard to do. It’d like to post a tribute to Sheba, my sister’s cat of over eight years. A fat cat, yes, but pretty quick when chasing a laser light – in fact that little light caused her to act like a kitten beyond her age. She was also an effective cling-on: good for warmth during the winter. And now, after a bout of sickness, the vets have finally gotten to a point where they can’t do much for her except “prolong her life” for a couple of weeks… she’s an older cat now and she’s in pain – it was time, and so she left us today…
El Gato Sabetini: you’ll be missed and not forgotten.
I’m sorry for your loss. I lost a pet a couple of years ago, and it was very painful. Best wishes.
Thanks dude. I think the hardest thing to get used to is that I wasn’t THERE for it… that’s still sorta poking me in the side. I feel for ya too.
8 years is a long time. I spent 12 with my dog, and he felt like a brother to me.
If you lose your pet after such a period, you’ve undoubtetly been thru some great times, maybe some not so great times and you’ve accepted “her” as part of your daily life.
I’m certain you feel the same. I feel sorry for you. I know what it’s like.
I am the sister. I had her for over 10 years..and she is sorely missed. Thank you to my brother for posting this. She was a gem.
